For this case we have that by definition of trigonometric relations of rectangular triangles, that the sine of an angle is given by the opposite leg to the angle on the hypotenuse of the triangle. So:
Where h is the hypotenuse.
We cleared h:
We rationalize:
ANswer:
Option A
I hope this helps. Good Luck!
Answer: ratio a:b = 3:5 p(X, 2) = p(9, 2)
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Plot points a = (12, 5) and b = (4, -3) and draw a line segment from a to b.
Notice that when y = 2, X = 9 so point p = (9, 2) <em>see graph</em>
The distance from a to p = 3√2
The distance from b to p = 5√2
So the ratio of a:b = 3√2:5√2 = 3:5 <em>when simplified</em>
<em />
<em>To find the distance, use the distance formula OR pythagorean theorem.</em>
